Yea I wanted that digital speedo ! but by the time you add everything up it wasnt worth it to me, in the end its a sporty and digital speedo ( for that price ) would look out of place imo. That said it looks so clean and if I had the extra $800 bucks to throw at my bike Ide prob have it on there ahaha

Hell yeah man, i love the way drag bars look! I did a write up on my speedo relocation with dummy lights... this works great cause you can still use your factory eyebrow to mount the dummy lights

Are you talking about what I did? If so. I am very stoked how it turned out... i figured even if i regretted it, its all reversible, those eyebrows are a dime a dozen. Since i used a bottom mount headlight bracket, it was kinda of something i had to do to make everything look clean.... without it everything was kinda of out of place. I really didn't like when i had the dummy lights zip tied to the bars, with this it really cleans it up. If you want can get a pic from (itstomfromnorthjersey) he has those dummy lights on his eyebrow with the stock headlight still bolted on.

IMO any speedo relocation is better than the stock setup, plus making it unique is more fun than spending mucho denaro on "made for parts". Not to mention even if you totally screw up the stock parts you can buy 5-10 more replacements and keep trying and it will still cost less compared to buying a speedo relocation from RSD or Jokermachine ...

I have a question, the Auto Meter bracket has slots in the sides for a worm gear type clamp ( a automotive hose clamp ) to mount it to the steering column of a car, Anyone ever mount it to a fork tube with a smaller clamp of the same type...like a heat shield clamp?

Yeah I think it looks so sick! I just blacked out my engine today and that's the next thing on my to do list. Thanks for all the pictures!

Is it hard to pay attention to your speedo when you're riding now that you've moved it?
